Before we get underway: I'm sorry, we don't have enough headline space to write 'KDE Releases Development Platform, Applications and Plasma Workspaces 4.6.0'. Then again, do any non-anal people every refer to it that way? No? I thought so. In any case, there's a new KDE version out with lots of new features, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.

The K menu is the best launcher menu there is. The apps you most often need, you just right click and add to the favourites. The ones you need now and then, you remember by name and type in the first few letters. The ones you use once every couple of months, you look for like you would in Windows or Gnome. It's designed for actual use, not for 10 minutes testing.
